Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Why are these the pancakes that you’ll be making the next time you make pancakes? Because lemon and ricotta is a delicious combination. Because you know you want to make a batch of pancakes that are a little bit different than the the normal ones. Because it’s been too long since you actually made pancakes. […]
Asparagus, Egg and Bacon Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette
I have to give you an excuse for going over a month between blog posts. Would you believe I spent the last month in French Polynesia, retracing the last years of impressionist painter Paul Gauguin? I wouldn’t either. (I’ll save that for next year.) How about the fact that my good friend, chef Mario […]
Sausage and Veggie Breakfast Strata
What’s my key to hosting brunch, you ask? Everything’s made and prepped in advance. With this in mind, here’s my go-to brunch recipe – Sausage and Veggie Breakfast Strata. This dish inherently abides by my “made in advance” rule. You’re literally SUPPOSED to make and prepare it the night before. For those unfamiliar with […]
My Favorite Morning Smoothie
I should trademark this phrase. ‘My Favorite Morning Smoothie.’ It’ll undoubtedly be the upcoming title of a new band, a popular song, or political podcast. Alas, for now, it shall be the modest title of my most recent post. (Don’t any of you go stealing it!) In addition to being low in calories and high […]
Cornmeal Pancakes with Blueberry Compote (and warm maple syrup and bacon)
A classic recipe. A memorable twist on it. You didn’t know National Blueberry Pancake Day existed, did you? No, I didn’t make this day up … someone else did. That said, I’m more than happy to celebrate. I’m also more than happy to show you a fantastically simple, not-so-typical, blueberry pancake recipe. I’m also […]
Smoked Salmon, Dill, and Goat Cheese Quiche
So, here we go with the 100th recipe post on EmilyAlwaysCooks. It’s been one heck of a yummy ride, and I’m already looking forward to post number 200. Quite befitting a make-ahead holiday recipe. Rich and savory custard, flecked with smoked salmon, goat cheese, dill, and leeks with a buttery crust base. I have no […]
Maple Almond Granola
It’s made up of pantry staples. It’s a whiz to throw together. It’s the first request from my sisters when they come visit. It’s GRANOLA. I can’t tell you how many requests I get to make granola. When my sisters came to visit a few weeks ago, this version made an appearance. A very short […]
The Ultimate Bagel with Smoked Salmon and all the Fixings
Holiday breakfast, game day eats, or the morning after things got a little carried away at the bar. A wonderful late night indulgence, my personal fav. Also, the perfect no-cook spread for entertaining. The ultimate bagel wears many hats, and they all look stylish. Here’s how to put on your “entertaining” hat: The morning […]
Spinach, Zucchini, and Feta Frittata
In the movie “Forest Gump,” Bubba goes into detail about how many variations of shrimp there are (you remember the scene). He lists off 21 different kinds of shrimp if you include cooking methods. I have a similar type of passion … for eggs! (Read the following sentence in Bubba’s voice. It helps. […]
